+# Git Commands
+
+Here's a list of basic Git commands that I use daily for dev. 
+
+## Clone
+Starting with the basics, this command makes a copy of the remote to the local machine.
+
+```bash
+git clone <repo:url>
+```
+(The repo looks like: https://github.com/ajayns/github-cmds)
+
+## Commit and Push
+This set of commands is used to make changes, save them and push them to the remote, better explained step by step:
+
+First, add the files to git
+```bash
+git add .
+```
+(`.` will add all files and folders, so file names in its place can be used to add files specifically)
+
+Commit the changes
+```bash
+git commit -m 'Add commit message here'
+```
+(A commit message is a brief account of changes made, like 'Minor fixes', 'Added login component')
+
+Add the remote to the Git repo
+```bash
+git remote add origin <repo:url>
+```
+
+Push the changes to the remote
+```bash
+git push -u origin master
+```
+(`origin` can be replaced with other remotes depending where you want to push to. `master` refers the main branch, it can be changed to whichever branch you'd like to push)
+
+Pushing commits needn't be done everytime you make a commit, instead, multiple commits can be push together from local to remote.
+
+## Branch
+
+Create a new branch from current one
+```bash
+git branch <branch-name>
+```
+
+Switch to a branch
+```bash
+git checkout <branch-name>
+```
+
+Create new branch and switch to it
+```bash
+git checkout -b <branch-name>
+```
+
+Delete a branch
+```bash
+git branch -d <branch-name>
+```
+
+Merge a branch to master,
+```bash
+git checkout master
+```
+(making sure you are in the master branch)
+```bash
+git merge <branch-name>
+```
+
+## Syncing a forked repo
+Clone the remote repo to local system and the following setups will bring the local and remote repos up to date with the source repo.
+
+Add the source remote (where you cloned from) to git, calling it upstream
+```bash
+git remote add upstream <repo:url>
+```
+
+Fetch all branches from upstream
+```bash
+git fetch upstream
+```
+
+Switch to master branch
+```bash
+git checkout master
+```
+
+Rewrite your master branch so that any commits of yours that aren't already in upstream/master are replayed on top of that other branch: 
+```bash
+git rebase master
+```
+(These same steps can be done for branches other than master also)
+
+Finally, push the repo to your forked remote to make it up to date
+```bash
+git push -f origin master
+```
+(Use the `-f` only when first rebase)
+
+
+## Delete Changes
+To delete all changes made to repo since last commit
+```bash
+git stash -u
+```
+
